    So who do you guys think is a better fighter and who would give Hopkins more trouble if he was to fight both guys back to back?

    I got a question for you...wtf has dawson ever done?
    Strum beat DLH...that beats anything Dawson has ever even attempted to accomplish.

    He beat Tarver and Johnson twice. And Sturm fought an out of shape De La Hoya.

    Thats all sturm has done, and a lot of that has to do with Oscar fighting at a weight he had no business at. Sturm isnt bad but i have seen him fight plenty of times and I really believe hopkins back in his 160 days beats him up, its not that far fetched right? On the other hand dawson has solid skills and im not sure hopkins will be able to beat him later this year, I hope so but its a style thing, there is a reason why hopkins never had any interest in fighting dawson a few years ago.
    but yeah in the end dawson was a hypejob with decent skills, I just think he is more skilled than Felix sturm, Sturm shoudl fight pirog or martinez instead of thomas hearns weak son.

    I'm glad you bring that point up because bailey is already setting up an excuse for that fight later on this yr. because according to him the win isn't gonna prove his theory wrong that Hopkins can't deal with fast 2 handed fighters because he said dawson has no heart. So it sounds like Hopkins isn't gonna get credit for that fight either if he wins by some posters in here.

    I know man. Dawson has all the tools he needs. I just think he doesn't have a fighter's heart. It seems like hes scared to really get down and dirty in a fight. Hes scared to get hit.

    Why would Hopkins get credit for beating a fighter that everyone already thinks is on a lower level than me to begin with?

    Dawson has literally done NOTHING to cause any amount of attention towards him. He does has little work has possible so he can get the decision. Hopkins is supposed to win.

    Dawson has better physical tools (jab, reflexes) to use against Hopkins.

    Resume wise, Dawson's wins over Adamek, Johnson, and Tarver are so far and away better than anything Sturm has done it's not even close.

    Well than why is he even waisting his time fighting him than if it's gonna do little for him? Because Hopkins is a fighter who's only gonna take fights to enhance his legacy, that's one thing we know about him as a fighter throughout his whole career, unless your gonna tell me something different.

    1. Not much competition
    2. Hes alot younger
    3. Money aka easy pay day
    4. Its pretty obvious that Hopkins just likes to fight for the hell of it.

    I see you're a Dawson fan (pretty sad, but to each its own), but honestly man who (other than you) really gives a **** about Hopkins fighting Dawson?
